The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 30 The Two Saints and the Little Mouse
Do it when you think of it.

Li Hao asked Zhao Bo to prepare paint, brush, ink, paper and inkstone for him. After finishing fishing with the old man every day, he would ask the old man for permission to return to his own Shanheyuan to rest.

Li Muxiu didn't say much about this. His purpose in training Li Hao was to let him do what he wanted.

Although Li Hao showed a very high talent for body training, he did not force Li Hao to practice hard every day. If Li Hao was willing to ask him for advice, he would give him serious guidance. If he was not willing, he would take the little boy to travel and fish in the wild every day.

……

In the Shanhe Courtyard, in the huge courtyard.

Li Hao asked someone to bring two small stools, one tall and one short, and started painting on the cardboard, looking like an art student.

Uncle Zhao tried to persuade Li Hao earnestly, but Li Hao turned a deaf ear to him. Uncle Zhao was completely helpless with this playful young master and could only leave him to Li Fu.

Li Hao already had a way to deal with Li Fu, and displayed the second level of his dragon body in front of him.

Li Fu was stunned and suspected that he was seeing things. He asked Li Hao to practice it again. After seeing it clearly the second time, the man was so excited that his eyes were wet and red.

He simply thought that it was his second uncle's cultivation and teaching of Li Hao that enabled Li Hao to master the second level of this unique body-refining skill in less than a month. While he was grateful to his second uncle, he was also surprised and excited about Li Hao's talent for body refining.

Such talent is much more amazing than mastering the Bull Strength in three months. He is definitely a first-class body refining genius.

Seeing his ecstatic look, Li Hao was secretly glad that he did not practice the third level of Hundred Dragon Body in front of him. After all, not everyone has the vision and endurance like the old man.

In exchange, Li Hao promised Li Fu that he would practice well with Er Ye, but on the condition that he would not interfere when he was doing other things.

This made Li Fu surprised, but also a little worried. Li Hao's talent for body refining was so high that he now wished that Li Hao would practice all day except for eating and sleeping, so that he could catch up with those geniuses with ninth-level combat bodies. However, Li Hao's temperament was very casual, which made him feel helpless.

After repeated persuasion, Li Fu finally gave in to Li Hao and agreed.

So Li Hao started painting freely in the courtyard.

As he picked up the pen and started painting, the characters soon appeared before his eyes.

[Painting Road: 0th level (1/100)]

It worked.

Li Hao smiled knowingly and began to write with great enthusiasm.

With experience in chess and fishing, Li Hao guessed that the better he got at painting, the more experience he would gain.

Therefore, I didn't do it too casually, but painted it more seriously.

However, he was a businessman in his previous life and had been immersed in business for decades. How could he know anything about painting?
He does know a little bit about girls who can draw...

For his first painting, Li Hao chose a figure sketch and picked the prettiest maid in the yard to stand in front of the drawing board.

Then he picked up the pen confidently. For the figure, he first drew a circle, then a vertical line, then a left and right stroke, and then another left and right stroke.

Well, I'm still short of hair.

Completed!

【Painting experience +1】

Hiss...Sure enough, drawing is difficult.

Li Hao smiled bitterly to himself.

Beside him, a man named Zhao Bo stole a glance at the drawing board and asked in confusion, "Master, what are you drawing?"

"Can't you see it, human?" Li Hao was ashamed and angry.

"Where is this..." Uncle Zhao was a little confused.

Li Hao said angrily, "You said it doesn't look like it, right? That's because you didn't understand the connotation of my painting. Look at this circle, do you think it's the head? No, it represents roundness. Look at this vertical line, do you think it's the body? No, it means that if a person wants to stand up, he has to be rounder. Uncle Zhao, you still have to learn. Don't be so outspoken!"

"Um, that clump on the circle isn't hair?"

"No, yes and no, it is both hair and ideal!"

"ideal?"

Li Hao said calmly: "Ideals grow on the head, which makes sense, right? This lush hair is the ideal of many people, which makes sense, right?"

“???” Uncle Zhao was at a loss.

After Li Hao finished his nonsense, he continued painting.

What made Zhao Bo and Li Fu look at each other in bewilderment was that even after dozens of paintings, there was not much difference between them. Then look at the pretty little maid standing in front of the drawing board... What was the point of letting her stand there as the background?

Obviously, this young master has no talent in painting, which is not comparable to his chess skills.

However, they were just having fun that neglected their martial arts, so they were too lazy to delve into it.

Li Hao painted very quickly, and a pile of waste paper soon piled up on the ground. Before long, his experience points accumulated to one hundred.

All of this accumulated little by little. Li Hao felt quite exhausted.

[Painting Path Upgraded to Level 1]

[Arts Points +1]

As the font prompts, a feeling of understanding the art of painting surged into Li Hao's mind. He closed his eyes for a moment and gradually digested it. In an instant he realized how much of an amateur he was before.

He picked up the brush again and began to paint. His strokes seemed to have charm. Soon, a graceful figure appeared on the paper.

Li Fu and Zhao Bo, who were looking around bored, accidentally glanced at it and were stunned for a moment, their eyes widened in surprise.

Not long after, Li Hao lightly touched her red lips with a brush, then dipped the brush in ink to color it. Suddenly, a lifelike figure stood gracefully on the panel.

【Painting experience +13】

Li Hao couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. As expected, the more careful and exquisite the painting was, the more his painting experience improved.

And I finally learned how to draw.

“Young master, you…” Uncle Zhao stared at the drawing board in a daze. He used to draw those little people with thick lines, but now he has reached this level?
Could it be that the young master is a genius and learned it in just a short moment?

Or was it a disguise before?
Or maybe...could it be that those villains, as the young master said, were painting "meanings"?

He felt that his previous cognition had been strongly impacted.

"Basic operation, no nonsense." Li Hao said calmly.

Zhao Bo didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked.

Li Hao painted a few more pictures. When he felt more proficient, he asked Li Fu and Zhao Bo to stand in front of the painting and painted a picture for each of them. The eyes in the paintings were lively, one was vicissitudes and kind, and the other was serious but revealed a bit of unnaturalness, looking away, both of them were lifelike.

Seeing the finished painting in their hands, they both had different looks and mixed feelings.

The young master's talent is rare in the world. If he was born in a family of civil servants, he would definitely be treated as a treasure.

Unfortunately, this is the Godly General’s Mansion, a family of generals born to defend Dayu.

When the paint and ink on the painting had dried, they both unconsciously rolled it up and put it away slowly, showing great caution.

They will remember that when they were seven years old, the young master drew a picture for them.

This was the first time in their lives that they received a portrait of themselves.

……

……

Time flies, half a year later.

On the shore of the calm Black Water Demon Lake, three figures, two old men and one child, were sitting more than ten meters apart fishing.

The younger one is naturally Li Hao. Besides Li Muxiu, there is another older one, who is Li Muxiu’s fishing friend. Li Hao heard from the old man that this person is the thief saint with an interesting name, Feng Boping.

According to the Thief Saint, he changed the name himself. It does not mean that he will take action when the situation is calm, but that after taking action, the situation will remain calm.

While fishing, Li Muxiu also introduced the experience of this thief saint to Li Hao with a smile, and found that he really lived up to the name.

Many forces whose treasures were stolen by the Thief Saint did not realize that their treasures were stolen until months or even years later.

Often, we fail to notice it at the first time, so we have no way to find out who stole it, when it was stolen, or even if it was a thief in the house...

Hiding his merits and fame, searching for treasures in the world, this is the story of the thief king Feng Bo Ping.

On the shore, Li Hao skillfully set up a large pot and cleaned the fish monster he had just caught, dissecting and slaughtering it, while occasionally glancing at his own fish bladder.

The other end of the fishing rod was fixed to the shore and tied to a large rock with a rope, so he would have time to take action if there was any movement.

At this moment, Li Hao used his sword to process the fish monster's internal organs with skillful techniques.

Li Muxiu and the Dao Sheng were no longer surprised by this. Although they were only dealing with fish meat, they had already seen that Li Hao had a very high talent in swordsmanship. When Li Muxiu first saw Li Hao swinging a sword, he even mocked him, saying that Jian Wudao was blind and had lost a real treasure.

The thief Feng Boping was also very fond of this clever little fellow who loved fishing and was not surprised by his sensitive identity. He once said seriously that he would search everywhere for Li Hao to find the precious medicine that could open up his meridians.

Soon, the snow-white fish meat was put into the pot.

Li Hao kneaded some coriander and chili peppers and threw them in. The fragrant and spicy smell immediately spread out, attracting the two old men on the shore to look at him frequently.

They cast their lines far into the depths of the lake. They use themselves as rods, and the lines are invisible. Even the fish bladders are gone, and they can sense any movement through the lines.

"You two can eat in three minutes." Li Hao said with a smile.

After a long time of contact, Li Hao called Li Muxiu "Second Master" and Feng Boping "Old Feng". The two old men also gave Li Hao a name they thought was vivid and descriptive:

Little mouse.
